Why go
Havelock Island sits in the Andaman Sea off India, a wall and reef system where dives drop from shallow tops into deeper water. Dives run to 30 m with around 20 m visibility, gentle currents and sea temperatures of 26–29°C. Marine highlights include corals, turtles and rays. Best season is Nov–May, typically reached by boat. A good choice for divers with some experience. Open Water certification is sufficient for most sites here.

Came hoping for turtles, and it delivered. The 20 m visibility kept everything sharp.
A great teaching site: the 20 m visibility and the gentle profile let newer divers build confidence.
Beautiful spot. Do respect the reef and keep your distance.
